A Little History Of Australia

Following the hardback from November 2006, comes the paperback version of little history of Australia. Highly readable, often surprising and always enjoyable, A Little History of Australia tells the whole story of this Great Southern Land, from its Aboriginal origins to: discovery by European; navigators who claimed the land as their own; the First Fleet, convict settlements and the gold rushes; the birth-pangs of a federated nation, and the experiences of Australians in the world's wars; the successes and problems of the twentieth century, and the celebration of a distinctly Australian way of life. It's all here, in one compact and vividly written volume.
